Lauryn Goodman tried to be friends with Kyle Walker's wife a year before she became pregnant with the England football star's baby.
Friends close to Annie Walker, 30, have claimed that reality star Lauryn rushed to the WAG at a Manchester nightclub to console her after it was revealed that Kyle, 33, had married her “ex” in April 2019 on the Beach” contestant Laura Brown cheated.
Lauryn reportedly told her that “all footballers are the same” and that she “understood” what Annie was going through.
And two months later, Lauryn, 32, messaged Annie again during a chance meeting in Ibiza, where she was on a make or break holiday with Kylie, invited her to Pacha nightclub and called her “gorj” for short for “beautiful”. , in a WhatsApp conversation seen by Web.
But despite offers of friendship, Lauryn was expecting her first child with Kyle just over 12 months later, while he and Annie temporarily separated.

Web can also reveal that Kyle rejected Lauryn's request to bring her a £9,000 Cartier bracelet for Christmas on behalf of her son Cairo and instead deposited £2,000 into her bank account, which she later used for a Louis Vuitton bag, citing claims from friends It makes sense to Lauryn that the Manchester City star has showered her with lavish gifts.
A source said: “Annie had no idea who Lauryn was when she approached her during a night out in Manchester with her sister at Nuage nightclub, where she was going to let off steam after Kyle's affair became public.”
“Lauryn wanted to be her shoulder to cry on and comforted her about Kyle's wrongdoing. She said his behavior was typical of 'most footballers' and later texted her to make sure she got home safely.”
“And when they were both in Ibiza two months later, she resurfaced as a friend and tried to meet up in Pacha, realizing she was on the White Isle with Kyle.
“But months later she got together with Kyle, which convinced Annie that the only reason she was trying to get close to her was to steal her partner.”
They added: “Attempting to befriend Annie is typical of the vindictive and calculated behavior she has displayed behind the scenes over the past year.”
“She made Annie’s life a living hell.”
A source close to Lauryn said: “Annie and Lauryn have never been friends – they have mutual acquaintances, but nothing more.”

Annie, who is expecting her fourth child with Kyle, announced earlier this month that the couple were splitting after 13 years.
